I believe they charged some nominal level of simple interest.

They dont have enough evidence for a prosecution,sadly. Did Ms Larkin pay full interest as her solicitor states? Me thinks not.

..i hate to say it,but I agree with senoj ,I do not understand how such a well educated and clued in population can listen this nonsense day in and day out….its like ,Bertie gives his eveidence,…its found to be flawed…and then he comes along and says “…OK,how about this ?…” and off he goes with his next story…incredible….

You sorry set of wakners, don’t you realise the whole world is laughing at you ? In every other country in the civilised world your fearless leader would have been locked up, three quarters of the front bench with him. I am from England, my wife is Irish, and ashamed to be. I don’t know how you dare hold your heads up. Hope you all get what you deserve!!

I turns out that the lad that opened the account Tim bought the Oldbidge Estate the location of The Battle of The Boyne and resold it shortly afterwards to the State for a profit of 750K

Bertie was the man that promoted the state purchase.

I’d say he’s more like a Fanta Orangeman these days, Sniffle.

Bertie the man with all those marital money problems back in the day. And yet he had money to buy houses with.

And that gets me thinking. How much untraceable cash did he spend through all those years.

You know the way we all go to the shops and buy groceries or underwear or bedding or household cleaning agents? Yeah, all that stuff. I’d like to see an audit of all Bertie’s spending on the basics.

And sure if Bertie never got a chance to do the shopping, being so busy and not owning a car and all that, then somebody must have done that for him. So did he hand them a wad and say, “Get whatever’s needed, and a few pizzas will ya, I’m not getting a free dinner this Saturday.”

Or he just thought that he had the right to distribute it as he wished regardless of its provenance? Surrounded as he seems to have been by cronies who let him run riot with the funds it is an understandable mistake. And technically it was St. Luke’s which of course is not Fianna Fáil!
Silly me! How could I have possibly misjudged him.
